The beauty of Oak
Chris Miller, Product Manager at JELD-WEN comments on the trend towards oak in the home.
“There is a strong trend towards oak at the moment, with homeowners recognising how its stunning natural aesthetics enhance and add value to a home.
Homeowners love the feeling of distinctiveness and quality that oak exudes and this is reflected in the trend towards floor coverings, windows, doors and stairs in this stunning timber.
Always striving to inspire homeowners with stylish, fashion-led products, we have extended our oak range across our complete door, window and stairs collections. Now, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of a complete oak joinery solution in the home, with more choice of styles and designs than ever before.
Recently, we have launched exciting new additions to our collection of oak Feature Doors – including the Newland Shaker, the Anderton, the Todridge and the Mackintosh inspired range. We have also added a new internal sliding folding door to our range: the Roomfold Plus in a stunning oak finish too.
Our Oak Oregon cottage doors are proving extremely popular too, as they are traditional in design – with four and six panel styles, but boast a highly engineered, solid construction and the stunning aesthetics of oak.
These doors are perfect for classic styles of homes, with their timeless elegance and the fact that they use only the highest quality Oak veneers.
The trend towards oak is reflected in the exterior of the home too, with stunning external doors and windows that provide extra appeal. One of our best sellers is the Lancaster entrance doorset range which features sturdy oak veneered front doors hung in a frame which is available in a choice of 6 finishes, with the option of stunning decorative glazing.
Demand for the natural oak look in a window led to the release of our stunning Oak Stormsure. Available in a range of designs from standard casement windows to regency styles and bay windows, this means it is easier than ever to co-ordinate the Oak look throughout your home.
For patio doors too, we have enhanced our range by adding an oak version to our most popular sliding folding patio door, the Canberra. Known as the Oak Canberra Duo, these stylish folding sliding patio doors are a real “must have” that greatly enhances, adds value and accentuates a property.
Homeowners love the look and feel of Canberra Duo, as it opens up the front or back of a home, letting in lots of light, whilst it can be slid away concertina-style saving space in the living area. An added benefit of this stylish patio door is that it is available in a wide range of standard and bespoke size options.
To complete the look and also demonstrating the epitome of good taste, as well as being perfectly compatible with the current trend are our Oak stairs. These stairs perfectly match oak windows and doors in the home, enhancing their aesthetics and providing a superior look.
Every Oak staircase is produced to a bespoke size and design to suit our customer’s needs.
As with all our timber products, our oak range of doors, windows and stairs come with full Chain of Custody Certification, which means they originate from well-managed forests. As timber is the only completely sustainable material, it is little surprise that the trend in windows, doors and stairs is very much back to this stunning natural material.”
